evilgjbon OpenSSL versioning and license changes

Regarding this text in the announcement:

"In practical terms our “letter” patch releases become patch numbers and “fix” is dropped from the concept. In future, API/ABI compatibility will only be guaranteed for the same MAJOR version number. Previously we guaranteed API/ABI compatibility across the same MAJOR.MINOR combination."

Does this mean 3.0.0, 3.0.1, 3.1.0 and 3.1.1 will all be ABI/API compatible?

This reads a bit ambiguously at face value in the announcement.
